Prosciutto-Wrapped Parmesan Chicken
Bursting with pesto, Parmesan and prosciutto—three Italian ingredients we love so much—these easy-to-make chicken rolls will be a hit at your next family meal. And by cooking them indirectly on the grill, your perfect paupiettes are guaranteed not to burn.
Ingredients
- 8 skinless, boneless chicken thighs
- 3 tbsp (45 ml) pesto
- 3 tbsp (15 g) grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
- 4 slices prosciutto
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- On a work surface, place the chicken thighs flat, smooth side down. Spread with the pesto and sprinkle with the Parmesan. Lightly season with salt and pepper.
- Gather 2 chicken thighs together, trapping the filling in the centre. Wrap with 1 slice of prosciutto and tie with butcher’s twine. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
- Preheat one side of the grill, setting the burners to high. Oil the grate.
- Place the wrapped chicken thighs on the unheated section of the grill. Close the lid.
- Cook for about 20 minutes or until the meat is cooked through, turning halfway through cooking. Finish cooking on the heated section of the grill until lightly grilled.
- Serve with a green salad and grilled bell peppers.
